When we talk about smart and talented young chess players, ChessKid is always in the conversation! This year, ChessKid has partnered with FIDE to sponsor children at the World Cadet Rapid and Blitz Championships, offering one-year gold ChessKid memberships to all top-five finishers.
This exciting tournament for up-and-coming juniors will be held in Durres, Albania, from April 25 to 29. The tournament will be divided into Rapid and Blitz sections, with an Open and Girls category for three different age ranges: under 8, under 10, and under 12 years old.
Want to show us that you are the best cadet chess player in your age category? Make sure you register for the tournament on the official website! The registration deadline has just been extended to March 15, so there's still time to sign up.
This year's event is already shaping up to be a great tournament. We are excited to follow the competition, and we wish all participants the best of luck!
